Overview of Kamari

Kamari, Santorini Island

Kamari is a famous beach resort of Santorini situated ten kilometers southeast of Fira, on the exact opposite side of the island from Perissa.
Kamari was completely rebuilt after the 1956 earthquake and was the most important strategic point on the island after the decline of Acrotiri in ancient times.
The general landscape is much similar to Perissa: an impressive long and inviting black sandy beach, characterized by an enormous rock called Mesa Vouno that rises from the sea.
The official name of the village is "Episkopi Gonia" and took its name from the interesting church of Panaghia Episkopi which was built in 1100. The area offers a great landscape, especially at night, when the rock is lighted. The best time to visit the church is on August 15th during the feast of the Virgin Mary when the church celebrates with a large festival.
Also, on September 24th the church Panagia Myrtidiotissa, celebrates with festival where the food and the excellent Santorini's "Vinsanto"wine is plentiful. Kamari Beach : Black sand, crystal blue waters very well organized and very clean beaches. Here they are very proud of their Blue flags. One more thing to be proud of is the fact that this is a beach which is in many ways accessible to people with disabilities. Your visit for swimming and sunbathing at Kamari must absolutely be combined with a visit to the Ancient Thira. Although the archeological site of Ancient Thira is not so well known as that one of Akrotiri, it is worth to visit. The view of the Aegean Sea from the ancient city is unique. Also, for those of you who are fans of extreme sports, you can climb on the organized climbing field of Kamari.
